Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Sunshine and flowers

 


I was thrilled to see these lovely happy faced daffies at Lake Tomahawk the other day! Yay! 

I however, went to Aldy's on Sunday, and picked up a 6 pack of roses...palest yellow.





This was within minutes of having that sugar water in the vase. They just bloomed right away from their original shapes as buds. I'm afraid the heater is throwing hot dry air their way, they look sort of dried out the next day.

Yep, these are headed to the trash bin tomorrow!


Today's quote:
 When you feel the earth moving, bring yourself back to the now. You’ll handle whatever shake-up the next moment brings when you get to it. In this moment, you’re still breathing. In this moment, you’ve survived. In this moment, you’re finding a way to step onto higher ground.

    1. They often get frozen back, or have snow dumped on them. So I'm grateful to see them this week!

  5. My little Tete-a-Tete daffs are flowering nicely. The less said about the rest of them the better!

    1. I don't know that flavor daff. I'll look them up. Crocus? I know you've had snowdrops. I've never seen them.

  6. That's interesting about the roses..I think shop bought roses are often too tightly in bud to open..A tip worth trying

    1. I have had good results with these buds before...but have to catch them before they start to die, I guess. Maybe in another month I'll treat myself to more roses.

    1. Yes indeed, they are harbingers of the birds, the winds, the rains, and eventually warm weather!

  8. I guess I'll see flowers here any day now. I was in Northern Virginia yesterday and saw pansies blooming.
